Geopolitics in One Sentence: US, China, Russia & More - What Drives them? - Econ Lessons



My name is Mark, I am an economist, and here I ask, what does each global power really want? In this video, I distill major countries' and regions' core geopolitical strategies into a single, sharp phrase. From Europe’s cooperative democratic vision to Russia’s destabilizing expansionism, from China’s cultural and political independence to America’s blend of nationalism and economic magnetism — I use my ideas of expressing complex concepts simply, and I talk about and explain the world’s shifting alliances and ambitions. Understand how Japan, India, Turkey, Brazil, and others navigate the complex global chessboard. This is your concise guide to the strategic heart of modern geopolitics.
